We spent a wonderful week here in June with our two young children, and it was our first time both in Cyprus and at this hotel – we’ll definitely be returning!
After a long flight, the short transfer was a real bonus, and we were greeted with a warm welcome at reception. The hotel has so much to offer for families: plenty of activities for the children and fantastic pools that kept them entertained for hours.
The food was excellent, with a huge variety to suit everyone. Our daughter especially loved the children’s buffet – the lower counters and plastic plates may seem like small touches, but they made the experience feel inclusive and exciting for her.
What really made our stay unforgettable were the staff. Every single person we met was kind, welcoming, and went out of their way to look after us.

First time staying at a Kanika hotel and I can honestly say it was fabulous. The staff are very smiley and attentive, it really does make your stay more enjoyable.
Pros
The reception smells lovely on arrival.
The staff throughout the hotel are mega friendly and helpful.
The air con in the room is good and in the public areas of the hotel too.
There is a dressing table with mirror and sockets in the bedroom.
There was a brand new anti slip bath mat for the bath.
Ironing board and table in the wardrobe.
Enough wardrobe space for ladies maxi dresses.
Mini bar in room replenished daily.
Water bottles were easily available and staff actually came to pass them to you on your sunbeds at 11am and 2pm.
You get allocated sunbeds for your duration so no sunbed wars…. Game changer!
The view from the sunbeds on the grass is looking out to sea.
The breakfast buffet was extensive and amazing and all food that we ate in the buffet restaurant and all other restaurants were fabulous.
Cons
It’s a bath in the room not a walk in shower, the shower is also not amazing but useable , the bathroom could do with a refresh (I believe the hotel is having a refurb in November 2025 though)
We are hoping to return to the hotel next year after the refurb! We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Amazing all inclusive hotel, clean spacious rooms, fantastic choice of food. Lovely service from the staff. Only problem needs to sack its Sommelier. Unless of course it’s some “bean counter” that’s making them buy wine that gives the average person Acid-reflux”? Quite often find that this is a problem with all inclusive resorts!

We just returned from a one-week stay at the Olympic Lagoon Resort in Paphos. While the reception staff was very welcoming, our initial experience with the room was disappointing. We had booked a room with partial sea view, but it had visible mold on the ceiling and wall, accompanied by a musty, damp smell. After reporting this, housekeeping responded by spraying heavy amounts of the hotel’s signature fragrance into the air conditioning system and all over the room—even the curtains. Covering up the issue with perfume does not make the air healthy, and for someone who values clean, fresh air to sleep in, this was far from acceptable.
After two sleepless and stressful nights, we were upgraded to a proper sea view room, which was much better. However, losing two nights of rest on a one-week holiday is simply not acceptable, especially given the price and the resort's 5-star rating.
The food in the main restaurant is generally good for an all-inclusive resort, but the desserts are extremely poor—mostly frozen mousse or industrial cakes that look like they've been picked over. Six years ago, we stayed here and were much more impressed by the food and drink quality. Now, for example, cocktails are made with soda from a syrup dispenser instead of proper bottled drinks. It’s clear there has been a noticeable decline.
On a positive note, the staff across the resort are genuinely kind and hard-working—kudos to the entire team.
But to be honest, we wouldn’t book this hotel again.

Overall our stay was definitely 5/5. The staff were incredibly friendly, the food was fantastic and the facilities were amazing. We 100% will be back. Our only downside was we booked the honeymoon suit in November 2024 yet when we arrived in September 2025 we were told there was a system error and we weren’t in the honeymoon suit, considering this was our honeymoon and the hotel failed to notify us of this until we arrived I wasn’t impressed with the communication on this. This being said the hotel were very apologetic and did provide a room upgrade at a discounted cost which we were very impressed with. It would still of been nice to be in the honeymoon suit or at the bare minimum told there was an error especially as we paid a deposit to secure this. All in all though a very pleasant stay and a very much enjoyed honeymoon.
